13．Charging drivers more money to park will probably work because the traffic jams ______ many cities recently．（　　）
A．have been troublingB．troubled
C．had troubledD．was troubling

分析 句意：因为最近交通堵塞（情况）一直困扰着许多城市，所以向去往公园的车子收更多的停车费可能会更奏效．

解答 答案A．
根据句中时间副词"recently"可知，过去的动作"交通堵塞（情况）"至现在仍然存在，应该用现在完成时，从而排除D项"过去进行时"（表过去正在进行的动作）；再由句子语境"…will probably work"可知，这个动作还会一直延续下去，则应该用现在完成进行时．从而排除B项"一般过去时"（表示动作在过去发生）；C项"过去完成时"表示先于过去的某个动作之前发生的动作，不符合语境，故排除；因此A项符合语境，故选A．

点评 本题考查时态的用法．解答此类题目的关键是要读懂句意，分析上下文的语境，判断时态，锁定答案．

In our discussion with people on how education can help them succeed in life，a woman remembered the first meeting of an introductory（36）science course about 20years ago．The professor （37）marched into the lecture hall，placed upon his desk a large jar filled with dried beans（豆），and invited the students to（38）guess how many beans the jar contained．After（39）listening to shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin，dry smile，announced the（40）correct answer，and went on saying，"You have just（41）learned an important lesson about science．That is：Never（42）trust your own senses．"Twenty years later，the （43）woman could guess what the professor had in mind．He（44）saw himself，perhaps，as inviting his students to start an exciting （45）voyageinto an unknown world Invisible（无形的）to the（46）eye，which can be discovered only through scientific（47）methods．But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even（48）hear the invitation．She was just（49）beginning to understand the world．And she （50）believed that her firsthand experience could be the（51）truth．The professor，however，said that it was（52）wrong．he was taking away her only （53）tool for knowing and was providing her with no substitute．"I remember feeling small and（54）frightened，"the women says，"and I did the only thing I could do．I（55）dropped the course that afternoon，and I haven't gone near science since．"

Many schools across the US hold graduation ceremonies this time of year. In some schools, even 5 and 6-year-olds observe their graduation from kindergarten. And so can older people, much older. Meet 70-year-old Jerry Reid, who just graduated from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He earned a bachelor’s degree.

Mr. Reid might not look like the average college student; his hair is definitely grayer. But still Jerry Reid’s age is easy to forget, other UVA students know him as one of their own.

Mr. Reid sat into the “Hoo Crew,” a group that cheers loudly for the school at sports events. He also joined a men's group on campus. He sang drinking songs along with many other students. Mr. Reid’s school friends say they can talk to him just about anything.

About a half century ago, in his 20s, Mr. Reid was not in school. Instead, he was racing cars and chasing girls. But he says his friend Bill invited him to UVA parties.

“Bill told me what a terrible life I had unless I came up here and went to school with him,” said Reid.

That was in 1963. Jerry Reid says it took him 48 years to take that advice. In 2011, he entered college. UVA Professor Luke Wright says Mr. Reid influences students. He opened the minds of the young adults. The teacher says Mr. Reid showed them that life does not end at 40. Instead, the 70-year-old college graduate believes that getting older can be the beginning of a dream.

“Remember that path that you left waits for you. It’s there. It’s yours. All you must do is to get out of your own way and get back to it. And, that's exactly what I did,” said Reid.

Mr. Reid says that he and his wife Susan now would take some time off to enjoy his college degree. Then, he’ll return to UVA to begin studying for his graduate degree.

1.Which of the following is true of Mr. Reid?

A. He was laughed at by other students.

B. He was interested in study in his youth.

C. He enlarged the views of young people.

D. He got his graduate degree in 2011.

2.From the third paragraph, we can infer that Mr. Reid was _________.

A. considerateB. independentC. intelligentD. energetic

3.What does Paragraph 6 mainly discuss?

A. How Mr. Reid realizes his dream.

B. What teachers think of Mr. Reid.

C. When Mr. Reid entered college.

D. Why the students likes Mr. Reid.

4.What lesson can we learn from the story of Jerry Reid?

A. It is never too late to learn.

B. Two heads are better than one.

C. Actions speak louder than words.

D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
